Swimming in a natural cenote offers an unmissable Mayan experience

What to expect

Exploring Mexico just got a whole lot easier. On this full day adventure, you'll tick off no less than four different activities. Start with a guided visit of the archaeological site of Tulum, then head to a cenote for a swim. Next, it's off to Akumal for a spot of snorkelling. Round off your day with lunch at a beach club. Carmen, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The most photographed structure in the archaeological site is the Castillo, which is perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The Castillo might be the most famous, but there are plenty of other ancient Mayan ruins to explore, such as the Temple of the Descending God and the Temple of the Frescoes.'

The marvels of the Mayan culture will be revealed on your guided tour around Tulum. You'll learn about it's past as a walled city, and its former role as a trading hub. After the tour you'll have free time to explore at your leisure. Next, prepare to be dazzled by colours at an ancient Mayan cenote, a natural cave with a freshwater pool fed by underground water sources and considered sacred by the Mayans.

After a cooling swim, we'll head for the picturesque seaside community of Akumal, known for its laid-back atmosphere, natural beauty, and abundant marine life. With its intriguing underwater world, Akumal offers one of the best snorkelling experiences in the Riviera Maya. Encounter an array of tropical fish, corals, and perhaps even sea turtles. To complete your day, unwind and indulge in a tasty meal at a nearby beach club.

Had a brilliant day, Felix was great, informative and made the day fun. He was also very good when I got anxious a couple of times in the water. Seeing turtles was the highlight of the day for us and we would definitely recommend this excursion. Lunch was good and water and snacks provided during the day. We did find similar trips that worked out a lot less money but liked the convenience that taxes and entrance fee's were sorted and paid for us.

Good trip overall, nice to be able to do multiple activities that we had looked at in one go. Your guide was very good and informative. Would recommend to anyone. I can see the other comments about it being rushed, it is slightly rushed but not to bad, if you want a good tour but not wandering around at a steady it’s for you. Only negative comment the picture price, you aren’t aloud to take cameras/phones into the cenote, which is fine as it is dark but the £60 for just cenote pictures is steep
